Study Finds College Has Strong Impact on Area Economy

GODFREY – Once again, a recent third party study has shown that Lewis and Clark Community College remains an economic boon to the region, accounting for 4.7 percent of the gross regional product (GRP).

In 2014-15 alone, L&C supported $369.4 million in income and 6,688 jobs, neither of which would have existed if the college wasn’t here, according to Emsi, an economic modeling company.
